184 Living Together

"Sei... Seigo..."

"I’m back, Mika."

"...Welcome back."

Mika felt a warm feeling in her heart when she saw the boy in front of her, but she could only greet him simply.

"Good morning to you as well, Juumonji-sensei."

"Good morning. Welcome back, Harano-kun." Kaede’s eyes flashed with an indescribable light as she smiled.

"You guys must be on your way to school." Seiji blinked as he said his next sentence: "Go ahead without me; there's no need to wait. After I change into my school uniform, I have something to discuss with Miss Landlord."

"Discuss... What are you going to talk about with my mom?" Mika was curious.

"Well... you’ll find out."

Seiji averted his gaze unnaturally as he began leaving.

"See you at school."

He waved towards them with his back turned as he walked upstairs towards his apartment.

Mika and Kaede were rendered speechless.

They felt rather disappointed inside.
